Algebra.Com's Answer #656950 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3 with exponent of x+4 = 7 with exponent of 2x-1 \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "3^(x+4) = 7^(2x-1) \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Since the variable is in the exponent, take the log:: \n" ); document.write( "(x+4)*log(3) = (2x-1)*log(7) \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Now, get the x terms together:: \n" ); document.write( "x(log3-2*log(7)) = log(7)-4log(3) \n" ); document.write( "x(-1.213) = -1.063 \n" ); document.write( "x = 0.877 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
